Nothing burps better than bacon.
James Isaac's surprisingly entertaining 2008 killer swine/redneck rampage/homicidal pot-growing hippie horror outing Pig Hunt is a refreshing change of pace from the glut of uninspired, low-budget B-movies I've been forced to wade through as of late. Don't let the title or its simplistic premise fool you -- this isn't another boring, lackluster creature feature powered by a cast of former prostitutes and fledgling gay porn candidates. Isaac's gore-encrusted tale of a group of city slickers and their pig-related adventures deep within the mountainous region of Northern California is packed with so much insanity, so much over-the-top violence that I suspect it will become a cult classic within a few short years. If all of the strange twists and turns, insanely bizarre characters, and the thumping score by none other than former Primus frontman Les Claypool doesn't get your cinematic mojo primed and ready for business, perhaps the copious amounts crude humor and the enjoyable performances sprinkled generously throughout the flick will do the trick. When you stop to briefly consider my past success with films centered around murderous pork, you can understand why Pig Hunt left me impressed and more than little giddy. I seriously doubt you'll find a better "animals running amok" picture this year. Unless, of course, you've already purchased advance tickets for the remake of Fame. More fun than a bearded redneck priest armed with a shotgun.

California Hillbillies And You: Contrary to popular belief, West Coast rednecks don't enjoy having their family members murdered.
They do, however, like naked chicks and marijuana.
2 Spasms:
This movie looks awesome! Definitely the best of all of the Frightfest series! I already have it saved to my netflix queue for September!
I didn't want to wait until September so I just created a Blockbuster online account and now I can get them this friday (the 6th)!!!
